“Pamela has been amazing with our 14.5 year old special needs dog Shayna! She is sweet and extremely patient with her, and has made a point of trying to get to know Shayna and her needs. Pamela followed our care instructions to a tee. She was punctual and sent us pictures and texts while visiting Shayna, and even stayed a little longer than the scheduled visit until she was sure Shayna was settled before heading out. We are very pleased with Pamela and look forward to having her take care of Shayna again soon.”
“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”
“Elliot just started walking Buddy and I can’t say enough nice things. Elliot is very responsible, shares information about their time together and Buddy liked Elliot from the jump!”
About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡
About: I have cared for dogs since I was 5 years old and truly love being around animals. Throughout the years, I’ve learned how to care for my dogs, especially through their health challenges, and keep them happy and entertained. Since my dogs are 14 and 6, I am great with dogs of all ages and can fulfill the needs they may need. Not only am I responsible and vigilant, but I also love to be outdoors—offering quality time to move and play outside. Now that I am home from college, I have plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I am available all days of the week, starting after 9am on weekdays. I have two dogs that I regularly take care of, whether that means the usual walks throughout the day or taking them to the vet when they’re sick. I am experienced with crates and different temperaments, which allow me to provide various kinds of care for your pet.
“Fran took very good care of my puppy.She is a very reliable person.I could see at the end of the weekend that my puppy was very comfortable with her.I will not hesitate to request her services in the future.You can trust Fran!”
About: As a dog walker, my specialty is to take pups out into nature. As I've been doing for 7+ years now, my service allows my dogs to grow and learn with each other amongst the sights and sounds of natural neighborhood trails. Offering socialization, training routines, in-depth interaction and lots of physical exercise, when I take dogs out to the trail I treat them as my own. I am typically active Tues-Thurs, with Monday and Friday being flexible. My walks/hikes are midday and offer my clients the opportunity to get their pup out during the work day for a thorough and holistic walking experience. For the service I offer, any pup that comes along quickly learns the rhythms of our activity. I've been described by friends as somewhat of a dog whisperer, and nothing brings me more joy than developing a mutual understanding between dogs wherein they get to have fun as long as they adhere to clearly established rules and modes of communication.
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and currently a Labrador Retriever. This experience has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and training needs. I am comfortable handling both large and active dogs, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every dog as if they were my own. As an educator with Montgomery County Public Schools, I have a structured schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care. During the school year, I am available for dog walks and visits between 6:30 AM and 8:00 AM on weekdays, as well as after work beginning at 3:30 PM. I am also available on weekends. Beginning June 18, I will have open availability and be available seven days a week for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and last-minute requests. Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for many years, and I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, attention, and companionship they need to be happy and healthy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to ensure their routine remains consistent and comfortable. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk for exercise or a slower-paced stroll, I make sure they get plenty of activity, attention, and care. For drop-in visits, I can provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any other care requested by the owner. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and cared for when their family is away. For doggy daycare, I provide a safe, supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, play, and opportunities to relax. My goal is to make sure every dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. Having owned dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and a Labrador Retriever, I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels.
“Emanuela was incredible! She picked up Luna from our mom's house and took her for generous walks twice a day while we were out of town. She was easy to coordinate with and also took great pictures of her time with Luna. Thank you Emanuela!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
“Genevieve was wonderful! Very responsible and clearly cares deeply for animals. As a new pet owner, she made us feel very comfortable and confident having her be with our new pup. Highly recommend her - we plan to continue to use her in the future!”
“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”

Jessica did a great job walking our dog Bruno for 3 weeks. She was attentive to Bruno’s personality, behavior, and needs. We did a meet and greet for initial setup and from there she gave me notes for each walk. She took care of a wound that happened and gave daily notes on the wound to ensure it didn’t need further care. She accommodated schedule changes when needed/available for rain. I hope she is available for any future needs.
Can’t recommend Madeline enough. She helped us out with regular weekly walks for my dog. She was always timely and easy to communicate with. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs. He would literally yelp for joy when she arrived he was so excited to see her. I would recommend Madeline in a heartbeat!
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a mature, responsible caregiver who clearly takes her role seriously. From the start, I have felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. Communication was thoughtful and reliable, and it was obvious that she pays close attention to each dog’s needs.Sonja is experienced, dependable, and genuinely caring.
